Bukayo Saka gives Gabriel Jesus injury verdict with Arsenal team-mate ruled out of World Cup

Bukayo Saka has extended his concern for Arsenal team-mate Gabriel Jesus suffered a knee injury in Brazil's final group stage match against Cameroon. Jesus was replaced just after the hour mark and football.london understands the Arsenal man will miss the remainder of the World Cup through injury.

Gabriel Martinelli and Jesus both started Brazil's match with Cameroon as Tite made 10 changes to the Brazil side that secured qualification in their second group fixture against Switzerland. Martinelli was particularly impressive despite Vincent Aboubakar scoring the game-winning goal for Cameroon in stoppage time.

Tottenham star Richarlison had been preferred to Jesus in Brazil's opening two games with the Gunners man forced to settle for cameo appearances from the bench before being given a start with his country already guaranteed a knockout stage spot after winning their first two matches.
